We sincerely thank all who regularly and generously give of their treasure, as well as those who give of their me and talent to support the mission of Jesus Christ of which St. Peter Damian Church has been entrusted.

Let us offer Christ the great universal sacrifice of our love. For he offered his cross to God as sacrifice in order to make us all rich. St. Ephrem While the food of Christ's body and blood fills our spiritual hungers, it also creates in us a greater hunger. We are not sent to our spiritual sofas to let the Lord's Supper se le; we are sent to be living signs of that thanksgiving for the world by looking out for the poor and powerless, feeding the hungry, caring for the sick, speaking out against the self-righteous.
